hi all i was loking at my babies earlier and noticed the older one has yellow coming through on its head and pale blue chest and back with a white patch of about 6 feathers on the back of its neck i think the mother is a cinnamon mauve/grey? and dad is a YF type 2 i will try and get some better pics soon . Wh the white patch?

The white patch sounds like you may have a pied mutation of some sort but a picture of both parents here and also the babies will be needed to make sure .

 

You have the colors of the parents but not the mutations so that will be necessary too.

are one of the parents a pied?

 

A spot on the head is a sign of a pied, even in a normal looking bird. It can also mean the bird is split recessive pied.

 

Elly and I posted at the same time.

here are some pics of mum,dad and babies its the first time i have had them out on the floor. Aren't they curious little things. I hope these pics help. If you look closely at her chest the color goes from mauve to grey and at a zoom look small spots of pale blue its amazing what you notice when you look. thankyou Dee

Dad seems to be a Yellow Face type 2 skyblue normal. Mum seems to be a cinnamon mauve normal. The spot on the baby usually comes into play when there is some kind of pied involved. I have had a few like that but usually there is a recessive pied parent in the equation. Either way, a lovely family
